- When you first enter the Bull Listing Search,
you will be presented with an input form of all possible traits that can be searched in the database.
- You may specify a minimum, maximum or both (range) for any trait.
The input form also shows the numeric range of each trait from the actual data.
If you are entering a negative number, precede it with a minus (hyphen) character.
- If a cell is left empty, the program will assume there is no limit
(i.e. the highest or lowest of that trait).
- You can also specify the sort order of the returned data;
first specify either ascending or descending order, then specify the trait.
- After you see a results page, you can return to the entry form (with your browser's BACK button)
and change any criteria as well as the sort order and then resubmit the search.
At the top and bottom of each page, you will have the option to see the
next or previous page of sires (if there are any). You can also go to specific pages
by selecting the page number at the top( if there are any).
- All displays have been optimized for display in Netscape 4.0.
In this browser (and perhaps others) you may want to reduce the
font size to see and print the entire table display.
For Netscape, use Edit | General Preferences and then the Font tab -- the default proportional
size is usually 12 pt and should work; change as necessary.
- You can also print the results after each return page has loaded.
For subsequent pages, simply request the next page of sires and then print again.
- Tips: During your data entry, you can use the TAB key to move to the next cell and SHIFT-TAB to move to the previous cell. However, pressing ENTER does not submit the search, you must click on the "Search" button.
